Abstract

The interplay between social protection strategies and economic resilience, particularly in mitigating poverty, has gained substantial prominence within developmental and welfare policy frameworks. Notably, survivors’ pension schemes stand out for their critical support to poor families grappling with the aftermath of losing primary earners. This study provides an overview of Malaysia’s Survivors’ Pension Scheme, an integral facet of the national social safety net designed to aid families mourning the loss of breadwinners.
